The Hornady 050075 Dial Caliper delivers precision measurement capabilities essential for accurate ammunition reloading and component inspection. This professional-grade measuring instrument enables reloaders to achieve consistent cartridge dimensions and verify component specifications with confidence.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic digital calipers that can fail in harsh conditions, this dial caliper operates without batteries and maintains accuracy through temperature variations. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from powder residue and cleaning solvents. Hornady engineered this tool specifically for reloading applications, with measurement ranges optimized for common cartridge components and case dimensions.
Key Features
- 6-inch measurement range with 0.001-inch precision graduations
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and wear
- Dial readout eliminates battery dependency and digital display failures
- Smooth rack and pinion mechanism for consistent measurements
- Protective storage case prevents damage and maintains calibration
- Hardened measuring faces resist wear from repeated use
- Lock screw maintains measurements for comparison purposes
This caliper handles the demanding requirements of precision reloading where thousandths of an inch determine accuracy and safety. The tool measures case length, bullet diameter, primer pocket depth, and overall cartridge length with repeatable precision. Competitive shooters rely on such measurements to maintain consistent ammunition performance, while hunters depend on precise dimensions for reliable function in field conditions.
